This day will never be lost in my heart. This was the most senseless thing I have ever experienced in my lifetime. Our nation suffered so greatly and especially those families that were directly affected by the losses that day. Those cowardly acts were just horrific. That day I lay in my bed holding my 10 day old baby girl who had been up for more than half the night: restless and cranky. It was like she "knew" what was coming. I was sleep deprived and anxious. I was a new mother who didn't know what I was doing. But as I sat and watched the ghastly events unfold on T.V., I held the most precious gift I had ever been blessed with. How ironic is that?
Now as Gracie is 8, we were having a discussion today about 9/11. I was explaining it to her because she was seeing a memorial going on as we drove through town tonight. So weird to hear her say, "no Mom, I haven't learned of 9/11 in school, tell me about it." I never thought to tell her about it until now I guess because I never thought she was old enough.
